The Government of the Northwest Territories advises that a new vehicle pull-out has opened adjacent to the Dettah ice road.

The new pull-out is located approximately half way along the 6.3 kilometre ice road between Yellowknife and Dettah.

Residents and tourists will benefit from the pull-out by having the option of safely stopping to enjoy winter activities, such as aurora borealis viewing. 

The attached map illustrates the layout of the pull-out, as well as the location of nearby signs.

Due to weight restrictions, a maximum of four buses are permitted to use the pull-out at any one time. There are no restrictions on the number of small vehicles that can use the designated pull-out area.

Drivers are asked to obey the posted signs and dispose of any litter using the garbage bin at the pull-out.
